Chapter 136 Draw from the bottom of the kettle

"Take it away!" Rong Chen waved his hand outward, but he didn't raise his eyelids.

Shen Nian shouted angrily: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince! Do you think you're going to marry a loyal and kind lady? No! You're just marrying a watery poplar, a flirtatious woman in the twilight of the day......"

Before the words fell, Rong Chen suddenly reached out and grabbed her throat and squeezed it hard.

Shen Nianci suddenly looked like a chicken stuck in the neck, with his mouth wide open, but he couldn't make a sound, his eyes were wide, and they were full of horror.

As long as Rong Chen exerted one force, she would die on the spot.

On the side, Lu Yiming was already stunned, and he didn't mean to step forward to stop him at all, the person who spoke was heavy, and he persuaded: "Second Highness, forget it, let her go, if you kill her, you just dirty your own hands, and give the queen and the third prince a reason to attack." ”

Rong Chen also knew that it was not a wise move to kill people in the Shen family, and after hearing this, he slowly let go of his palm.

But the anger in his eyes has not disappeared.

Dare to insult his fiancΓ©e in front of him, Shen Nianci is really damned!

With a bang, Shen Nianci's whole person fell to the ground in embarrassment, soft like a puddle of mud, and he couldn't cry, the whole person was confused, as if he was scared stupid.

There was a red mark on her neck, which represented Rong Chen's anger.

"Nian Ci! You're alright! Lu Yiming rushed forward at this time, helped Shen Nianci up from the ground, stared at the people in the hall with resentful eyes, and said word by word: "What do you want to force us to?" Do you want us to die? ”

"Take them down."

Rong Chen didn't want to look at these two people anymore, and ordered coldly when he heard this.

Soon, seven or eight guards poured in from outside, escorting Shen Nianci and Lu Yiming out for no reason, and when he left, Lu Yiming kept shouting heartbreakingly.

In the flower hall, Old Lady Shen breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at Rong Chen and said with relief: "Second Highness, thank you for being able to stop, this daughter of the second family is indeed not very like words, this time, they must be severely punished." ”

"Old lady, as long as you follow Nian Zhen and it's fine." Rong Chen said slowly when he heard this: "These are all small things, don't worry, the hairpin that was sold by Shen Nianci will be retrieved by this palace tomorrow, you don't have to worry." ”

"Thank you so much, Second Highness!" When Mrs. Shen heard this, her face was full of gratitude.

Lu Yiming and Shen Nianci, who were taken away by Rong Chen's men, were extremely terrifying, they thought that they were about to die, but what they didn't expect was that after those guards took the two of them out of the Shen family, they didn't do anything, so they let them go.

This made the two of them even more frightened, they didn't know what medicine was sold in Rong Chen's gourd, did they want to send someone to assassinate them after they relaxed their vigilance?

"You two are out!"

In an alley outside Shen's house, the second old man and his wife, who had not appeared for a long time, didn't know where to come from, surrounded Shen Nianci and Lu Yiming and looked up and down, and then stretched out their hands: "What about the money from selling paintings and hairpins?" Bring! ”

"You two are at this time, and you still need money?"

Hearing this, Shen Nianci weakly raised his head from Lu Yiming's arms and glanced at them, showing the red marks on his neck to his parents: "I almost died in that mansion!" All the money from the sale of hairpins has been seized, so if you want it, go to the Grand Commander's Mansion and ask for it! ”

"It's not productive."

The second master saw the red marks on his daughter's neck, but he was indifferent, and after making sure that his daughter and son-in-law really had no money, he immediately looked at them lazily, grabbed the second lady's hand and turned around.

"Ci'er! What's the deal with the injury on your neck? β€œ

The second lady was still very distressed when she saw the injuries on her daughter's body, and couldn't help asking.

"It was pinched by His Royal Highness ......" Shen Nianci's eyes couldn't help but turn red when she heard this, but before she could shed tears, the second lady had already been dragged away, which made her grief stand in mid-air, not up or down, and the tears were forced back.

"They're gone." Lu Yiming said in a cold voice.

"I know." Shen Nianci's tears poured out at once when he heard this, and he sobbed: "It's really hateful, the two of us still can't resist the entire Great Commander's Mansion after all, and His Royal Highness the Second Prince......"

When the words of His Royal Highness the Second Prince were mentioned, her expression was full of horror.

The feeling of dying just now came again, and she couldn't help but throw herself into Lu Yiming's arms anymore, but she was pushed away.

Lu Yiming said: "I'm also very tired. ”

After speaking, he raised his feet and slowly walked in the direction of home.

Shen Nianci was stunned for a moment and raised his heels.

After Lu Yiming went back, he locked himself in the study, and the next day, when he went to the Yamen to report for the scientific examination, he was told that his name had been removed from the list of participants in the scientific examination, and he could not participate in the scientific examination again in this life.

It turns out that this is the second prince's riposte!

Under the blue sky and white sun, Lu Yiming stood on the steps outside the yamen, only to feel cold all over his body, and his brain was dizzy.

There is no hope! He has no hope in his life to be able to recover Zhenbeihou Mansion! He is no longer the prince of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion in the past! Such a blow made him desperate to death.

In a daze, he saw the stone lion in front of the yamen clearly, he didn't know where the strength came from, and suddenly pounced on it and hit it head-on!

Bump –

Crashed to the ground.

Blood slowly trickled down his forehead, spreading across the cyan steps.

Soon, it attracted many onlookers.

"Huh! Isn't this the prince of the Houfu of Zhenbei in the past? Why did he fall here? Oh, it turned out that he hit a stone lion? But why? Why can't he think about it? ”

Maybe there were too many onlookers, but finally the people in the yamen were alarmed, and two officials were sent out to check.

The official returned the blood stains on the stone lion of Lu Yiming, who had passed out, and Lord Yin Qin of Jingzhao pondered for a moment, and then sent two more people to carry him back on a stretcher.

The bloodstains in front of the door were also cleaned, and many people were shouting bad luck.

There are also many people who are asking why Lu Yiming hit the pillar, and everyone will know that Lu Yiming was restricted from participating in the scientific examination because he was a criminal minister, coupled with his personal misconduct, and he couldn't think of it before he hit the stone lion.

"I can't blame anyone else." After all the people knew the truth, they shook their heads and sighed: "The imperial court didn't deal with him even with him, it's already good, and you still expect to participate in the scientific expedition to re-prop up the Zhenbei Hou Mansion?" Don't be whimsical. ”

And at this moment, at the end of the humble alley near the city, the Lu family is also in a mess.

Shen Nianci got up early in the morning, only to find that the house had been robbed, she had relied on selling Shen Nianzhen's paintings these days, as well as jewelry and other jewelry stolen from the Hou Mansion, all of which were gone overnight, but Mrs. Lu's mother, who was already paralyzed in bed, was still scolding her: "Slut! It's almost noon! Why don't you go and cook, do you want to starve me to death? The bad things, my son is now reduced to this, it's all because of you......"

"Stop scolding!" Shen Nianci screamed in disappointment, and turned around and walked out of his dilapidated yard anymore, as soon as the clinker opened the courtyard door, he saw a bachelor man looking outside, and saw her coming out of it, and a pair of eyes suddenly came out.

Shen Nianci was startled, and closed the door with a snap, and her heart fluttered in fright.

This place is unlivable!

How long have they been here? When she goes out to buy groceries, when she goes out to sell things, she always 'bumps into' some men, some of these people stare at her non-stop, some even make teasing words, and even some people directly reach out to grab her, scaring her to rarely go out at other times except at noon recently.

And Lu Yiming didn't care about all this.

Even if she told him about those troubles, Lu Yiming would only blame her for being too 'swaggering': "Girls' families, stay at home, don't dress up so charmingly, who will pester you?" After all, it's not because of you! ”

These words once made Shen Nianci very heartbroken.

But today, these people have already gathered around the door of the house, and Lu Yiming still hasn't come back! He just went to the yamen to sign up for next year's Spring Festival, and it won't be long before he can? Why haven't you come back yet? Is something wrong?

Thinking of the entanglement between her and the Shen family yesterday, Shen Nianci was a little suspicious that this was a conspiracy between Shen Nianzhen and the second prince - deliberately arresting Lu Yiming and leaving him helpless!

Just as he was thinking about it, the mother-in-law's vicious curse sounded in the room again.

Shen Nianci's eyes flashed with an imperceptible look of resentment, stood in the courtyard and took a deep breath, turned around and went into the dilapidated kitchen.

Half an hour later, she brought out a bowl of hot porridge with clear soup and little water, and went to the house to feed Lu's mother.

Lu's mother is like a child, she can't take care of herself, everything has to be done with Shen Nianci's help, and even the food is fed by her.

She also had a bad temper, Shen Nianci fed her a mouthful of food, and half of it was spit out by her and spit on Shen Nianci's face.

Spit out and scold: "Slut! ”

This kind of life is something that no one can hold onto, but Shen Nianci persevered, she fed Lu's mother well every day, just because she was Lu Yiming's mother-in-law.

And she has no choice but to stay here.

After feeding a bowl of rice, Shen Nianci came out of the upper room in a mess, and was about to fetch some water to scrub her body, when she heard a noise outside, and their yard was banged.

Shen Nianci was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Who?" ”

A rough reply came from outside the courtyard: "We are from the Yamen, Lu Gongzi is injured, we will send him back, please open the door." ”

People from the Yamen? Lu Yiming is injured?

Shen Nianci was taken aback when he heard this, and quickly ran over to open the door.

The courtyard was empty outside, only a straw mat was placed on the ground, on which lay Lu Yiming, who was covered in blood, his face was pale, his eyes were closed, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

When Shen Nianci saw this scene, his heart stopped beating, so he stood there in a daze, looking at Lu Yiming quietly, and screamed for a long time, stepped forward quickly, pounced in front of Lu Yiming, and stretched out his hand to shake him: "Husband!" Husband! Wake up! ”

Lu Yiming didn't react.

Shen Nianci's trembling hand was placed on the tip of his nose little by little, and immediately, she felt a faint breathing sound.

People are not dead! Still alive!

Seeing this, Shen Nianci suddenly burned with a glimmer of hope in his heart, and then stood up and shouted loudly outside: "Someone! Help! Someone is going to die! ”

The people living in this alley are all poor, and when they heard the shouting, they came out of the house one after another, helping to carry Lu Yiming into the house and settle down, Lu's mother struggled to crawl out of the inner room, and when she saw her son unconscious, she screamed and passed out.

Everyone hurriedly pinched and poured water to wake her up, and the first thing Mrs. Lu did when she woke up was to slap Shen Nianci fiercely, crying and shouting: "You finally killed my son!" Are you satisfied? Happy? You slut! Why don't you leave! ”

Shen Nianci was furious when she was beaten, and glared at Lu's mother angrily: "I'm leaving?" All right? I walked all the way with ease! But Lu Lang is still alive! You're immobile again, I'm gone, are you two here waiting to die? ”

"yes, yes." The neighbors around persuaded one after another: "Your mother and son are both sick, so you rely on this daughter-in-law to support the door, if you drive her away, what will your mother and son eat and drink?" Where can I afford to see a doctor? ”

Hearing everyone say this, Lu Mu stopped crying.

But a pair of cloudy old eyes still stared at Shen Nianci, eager to eat his flesh and drink his blood before he could relieve his hatred.

Shen Nianci really wants to leave with her hands, what does all this have to do with her?

But every time such a thought pops up, there will be a voice in her heart: "Can't go!" If you leave, won't that prove your choice wrong? What kind of face do you have to go back to the Shen family?

She stood firmly on the ground with her legs, gritted her teeth and swallowed blood, ignored Lu's mother's scolding at the moment, thanked everyone, and went back to the house to find money to ask the doctor to come and treat Lu Yiming.

However, Shen Nianci searched all the places where the money was hidden in the past, but he didn't find even a penny of it.

Without money, how can she go to a doctor? And what doctor will come and heal?

Seeing that she hadn't gone to the doctor for a long time, Lu's mother howled and cried in the back room: "My poor son! All your money was given to that slut, but now your life and death are uncertain, but that slut has a firm grip on the money, and he just won't invite a doctor for you! She's looking forward to your death! ”

Shen Nianci was furious when he heard this.

She violently pushed open the door of the inner room, stood beside Lu's mother's bed, stared down at her and said word by word: "The money in the family has always been kept by me and Lu Lang, without the fact that I am corrupt, now we have offended my eldest sister, and the second prince, there is no silver in the family, we can only wait for death!" What's the use of you being so mournful? Hurry up and take out the money you pressed at the bottom of the box to save your son! I can't help it. ”

"You talk nonsense! How can you not have silver! ”

Mother Lu glared at Shen Nianci deadly, and said hatefully: "I heard from the two of you a while ago that you sold a lot of silver money by stealing calligraphy and paintings from the Hou Mansion, what about those silver coins?" ”

"It's gone." Shen Nianci looked at her and said coldly: "The ones that your son stole from me are all Shen Nianzhen's paintings, and now that the East Window incident happened, the second prince was angry, and the silver had already been taken back!" Even your son's injury may be the hand of the second prince! ”

"Nope! This is impossible......" When Lu Mu heard this, she was stunned at first, and then kept shaking her head: "The second prince has always been very good to us, he won't do this......"

When Shen Nianci heard this, he almost wanted to look up to the sky and laugh!

When has it been, Lu Mu still thinks like this, it's so innocent!

"Don't dream, the second prince has already broken with his husband, he snatched the eldest sister, and even the fall of your entire Zhenbei Hou Mansion was personally created by him." She looked at Lu's mother, and there was a little joy in her eyes: "If it weren't for the killing being too conspicuous, my husband would have died by now." ”

When Lu Mu heard this, a trace of horror appeared on her pale face.

How did things come to this!

She raised her head, glared at Shen Nianci with resentment in her eyes, and said, "If it weren't for the old lady's birthday banquet, you fell into the water in public to seduce my son, he would have already married your eldest sister at this moment, and he would have been on the rise!" It's all because of you - because of you, Commander Shen retreated from our family, and the Lu family was defeated, framed by someone, and finally fell to such a point! The source of it all is you! You scourge! I'll kill you! β€œ

As Lu Mu spoke, she suddenly threw herself off the bed, and she was about to pinch Shen Nianci with her hands and teeth and claws.

However, when Shen Nianci was in the Shen family yesterday, she was almost strangled to death by Rong Chen, and the shadow left behind is still there, before Lu Mu's hand got close, she had already deftly dodged it, and grabbed the teacup on the coffee table behind her, and smashed it on Lu Mu's head!

There was a bang.

Lu Mu's body shook a little, and the whole person fell to the ground softly, her forehead was cut by broken porcelain, and blood slowly flowed down.

……

At the same time, the Shen family is very lively today.

A surprise guest was welcomed.

Old Mrs. Shen was anxious in the inner house, her eyes kept looking out of the door, and it was not until Mama Zhou's figure appeared that she breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't wait to ask, "How is it?" Can you ask why the second son of Su came to the door? ”

"Back to the old lady, the slave didn't ask."

Mama Zhou said with a little embarrassment when she heard this: "No matter how the slave and maid knock on the side, the second son of Su just said that he wants to see the eldest lady and the second miss." ”

"It's really the other way around! He is a foreign man, and he ran to our house in a grand manner, and asked to see the girl who has not been out of our house by name, what kind of rules and manners is this! Old Madam Shen said a little angrily when she heard this: "Could it be that Mrs. Su taught her children like this?" ”
